Hey guys! Poor Leo.

Today we got tagged in the Mimei end of the year tag challenge.

We were tagged by Mira from the channel "Kanadajin3,"

or "Kanadajin(san)."

So today we're gonna answer 5 questions together.

And we were challenged to do it separately in separate videos, but we're gonna do it together.

It still counts as two people, though.

What was the best thing that happened to you this year?

OF COURSE the best thing that happened to me this year was

I was able to visit Jun twice.

So- Thank you...

What?? What is this?!

It just feels weird!

You have a cat.

Oh, yeah. It feels nice like that.

I have to do it like this. I have to do it like a cat.

Okay, so, we've been married for a little over two years but we're

long distance because I'm contracted into my job in America.

Sorry if the camera moved. Leo dropped the camera.

It's on her cat tower, so she got upset.

Anyway, what was the best thing that happened to you this year?

Um, right, well obviously being with you here is the best thing,

but except for that- "Aside from that."

Aside from that... sorry, yeah, I won't exclude.

So besides that, we got a ton of subscribers. That's the best thing that happened to us this year.

Even if I could send a D-mail to myself in the past I wouldn't believe it.

It was like- OH. D-mail!

Yeah, D-mail. I wouldn't believe it. Well, anyway, yeah, it's amazing.

Our first subscriber was your dad. We only had your dad as a subscriber for like a month.

Right. Like a month after we started!

The view counter said 3 or 4 and it was all dad.

Thank you for watching our videos.

Okay. What was worst/most challenging thing that happened to you this year?

Just one thing?

Maybe the worst news is when they changed my job.

I was supposed to go to Korea earlier this year

and then they they decided not to send me the day before I was supposed to leave

after they already shipped everything I own to Korea.

And now your stuff is still in Korea. MY STUFF IS STILL IN KOREA.

What was the worst thing or most challenging thing that happened to you?

Well, one of my family members has passed away so I think that's the

worst thing that happened. I hope she is doing okay on the other side.

Okay, so number 3: tell us about your favorite game, tv show, application, song, etc, of 2013.

My favorite tv... oh game is first.

Um, well, I stopped playing games last April when they shipped everything I own to Korea!

But before that I was playing a lot of Skyrim still.

My favorite tv show is probably... actually it's probably Project Runway.

I love Project Runway. Oh, really? But winter is coming.

I was thinking about Game of Thrones but I'll put that as my favorite book.

I just finished reading the 5th book of Game of Thrones.

Yeah, it says etc so... Yeah, etc so I can add book.

My favorite song would be "I Got a Boy" from Girls' Generation.

Yeah, I listened to that song several times- [singing]

I don't know--I can't speak Korean. I don't know what I was saying.

I don't think those were the lyrics.

So what are your favorite things?

My favorite tv show... I don't know if it's a tv show, but I started watching Conan O'Brien.

Conan. CONAN O'BRIEN.

He's really, really funny. I love Conan.

Especially when he reviews tv games. Team Coco!

Yeah, his... ohh what's it called?! Reviews something...

Yeah, his Uninformed Gamer or something.

It was hilarious. It WAS hilarious.

I love it. I love that show.

Oh, my favorite application, huh? I have to show it.

Guys, guess! What do you think this application is gonna be about?!

You have a couple seconds until he brings it up on his phone.

I think some people might already have this application on their phones.

I don't... why would you have this application?

Go do it for them. The application is called "Tickling cat."

It's a tickling cat.

Okay. And you just tickle.

It wasn't the good face? No.

I don't know...where should I tickle? Okay.

Isn't this amazing?

Are you guys surprised that that's Jun's favorite app?

So, next is show us the three best things you bought this year.

Well, since almost everything I own is in Korea, I'm

just going to have to make do with what I have here.

So number one is...

I know pretty much everyone before us who made these videos

was showing all of their name brand items and expensive things...

We are really cheap.

We're kind of a cheap family.

Okay, so- Show them what you've got!

My number one favorite thing I bought this year:

Petroleum jelly! YES.

Okay, so I've had an issue with chapped lips for like... I can't even remember how long.

I've been addicted since I was a teenager. And this year I started using petroleum jelly on my lips,

and now my lips aren't peeling all the time, and I can use chapstick less often.

Sometimes I can go a whole day without chapstick, it's-

I'M BUSY.

No one cares about your chapstick or whatever thing!

Pay attention! Number two! Are these sunglasses, so-

OMG STOP! Give me the cat application!

Pay attention to me. I'm talking. I'm talking here. Okay, so.

How expensive do these sunglasses look?

A dollar.

No they don't!

You can't get these at the dollar store! Okay.

These look nice, right? These look like...

What if I told you these were $500 sunglasses?

I would be lying; they were two for $15 on sale.

So how much have- Actually NO. NO, it was originally

two for $15 and it was a special sale day so it was double and I got FOUR for $15.

That's right. So, 15 divided by 4.

I'm not going to do that because I hate math.

So, the reason I love these sunglasses is because I have really sensitive

eyes and it's really hard to find sunglasses that look good on you.

I think these look pretty good. So, I'm pretty happy with them.

So how much have you spent in total so far?

I think I've spent about like $5 total so far.

All right, number three! It's Dr. Bronner's tea tree oil soap.

These bottles... Jun originally introduced me to Dr. Bronner. He bought me the lemon/citrus one and

I was like what on earth did you buy because I read the side.

And like legit, these quotes are crazy.

Let's see... "The surest way to destroy our enemy is by making him our sincere friend.

God must have loved the common people of the earth; he made so many of them."

Abraham Lincoln.

Did you buy this without reading these quotes on it?

How could you buy something if you-

What's wrong with that? He was one of the best presidents of America.

Anyway, despite the crazy quotes on its bottle, he actually makes really good soaps.

And tea tree oil is really good for people like me who have acne prone skin.

And this also helps with redness because my face is always really red.

So I was really happy to find this soap because it works really well for me.

And it helps keep my acne away and my face less red.

So, yes! Tea tree oil soap. That is my number 3.

Sorry, Leo knocked over the camera again.

So, what are your three favorite things you bought this year?

My first favorite thing is... onion skin powder.

Yes, onion skin powder.

You laughed at my petroleum jelly!

Yeah but this one's really healthy and tastes good.

You were playing a cat application when I was talking about

petroleum jelly, and you're showing onion skin powder!

Well, I don't really buy stuff often, besides spices and books.

Actually, I've used this, too. It's not that bad.

And it's actually really healthy.

Yeah, it has a really strong flavor, though.

It cleans your blood.

Onion is famous for cleaning your blood. It's very healthy for you.

And... some books. This is a series.

I don't know how to explain these books.

It's... it's really sad. Sorry.

What genre? I don't know. School?

Like real life? Slice of life?

No, not at all. Oh, okay.

Kind of suspense. Suspense?

Mystery?

Kind of. Kind of mystery?

Yeah, people die in this book, so, kind of.

Yeah. I might like it.

But it's really, really, really sad, so... Anyway, one of my favorite books of this year.

What is it? Can you read the name?

?????? (Pushuke no namida/ Psyche's Tears)

And, I bought another book.

It's "The Willpower Instinct."

This one's really, really good and useful. I read this book every day.

How much have you read so far? Uh, most of it. I-

Oh, really?

Well, the author--she gave a speech on TED talk. She was really famous.

And she was a really famous teacher at Stanford University.

Okay. All right, what's the last question?

What's your New Year's Resolution?

My New Year's Resolution... My New Year's Resolution is

upload more videos more often on my Jun's Kitchen channel, I guess.

Yeah. My New Year's Resolution is... Oh, I have a special video that I've been thinking about making

for a very long time.

The difference between standards of attraction in Japan and America.

And I have it all planned out in my head.

But there's just so much that goes into it, It's going to take so long

that I haven't started it yet, but, I really want to get that done this year!

And, also I want to get back into shape because

I don't know if you guys watched this video before-

Leo... Leo! What are you doing?! Okay. It's okay. She's just readjusting.

The cat earthquake will go away in just a minute. Cat earthquake.

Okay. So, last February I had some heart problems and I've been really out of shape this year.

I haven't been able to exercise as much. I had to stop exercising for like six months,

because my heart was damaged and it had to take time to heal and stuff.

So I wanna get back into shape.

And I really hope I can move to Japan for good this year, finally.

And if that'll happen then I wanna have meetups with people.

I wanna start meeting everyone who's been subscribing to us and supporting us!

Yeah, that would be great. Yeah.

I think that's like one of my favorite things about doing this

now is we get to talk to so many people from around the world.

It's really cool. I love it!

Yeah, maybe I can make something and give it away.

Yeah! Something to eat.

Yeah! I always tell people that Jun will cook for them.

I don't ask him but I know he will.

So, he'll cook for you. We'll have some sort of meetup.

Maybe we can do like a picnic meetup.

I wanna do that. Maybe- AUGH I hope I can be here!!

And then in the spring I wanna do like a picnic meetup and we can play some like frisbee and stuff.

Cherry blossoms?

Cherry blossoms! Hanami (viewing cherry blossoms) meetup!

And a picnic. Jun will make stuff. We'll play frisbee.

It'll be GREAT. I wanna do it! I'm looking forward to it now.

Okay, so, now we have to take some people to do this video as well.

How many people can we pick?

Um, as many as we want, I guess.

Can I pick one? Go ahead.

I know who he's going to pick.

Okay. It's Tom from QuickRhino! TOMU SAN.

You have to do this in yakuza voice! Yeah, or batman voice!

Batman is fine, too. A voice.

Any voice. Surprise us with a voice.

Okay. I have a list of people to pick.

I want to tag Victor from gimmeaflakeman.

And Tomoko-san, who always is on his channel but has her own channel now, Tomoko Tomoko.

I'll link to it. And, um, let's see...

I also want to tag Melodee Morita. Melodee-san.

Onegaishimasu!

And Rio from riolifeinjapan.

And Jackie from Nerdecrafter!

So I'm tagging five people. How about Maggie-sensei?

Maggie-sensei? I don't know if that's possible.

Would you like to do this tag video? Let's see how it works out.

She has her own channel, so I mean... we'll see.
